Upon first hearing the name ‘inositol,’ you’d be forgiven for thinking it was some sort of pharmaceutically developed drug. But it’s actually simply vitamin B8 – and it’s a chemical linked to decreased depression.

In 1995, a study found that treating depression with inositol led to fantastic results. A further study was conducted in 2001 and found similarly impressive results. And yet, the conventional medical industry continues to treat depression with medications, expensive ones, that often don’t offer many benefits better than placebos given to patients.

If you suffer from depression, you’ve probably never heard about this study. Now why is that?

Every year, millions of prescriptions are written for anti-depressants. This leads to multi-billion dollar profits for pharmaceutical companies around the world.

Common side effects of these medications include increased depression(!), dry mouth and sexual dysfunction.

Inositol, on the other hand? It’s found naturally in your body? In fact, that’s all the supplements do – increase the supply of inositol in your system, leading to decreased depression.
